963 markdown files reformatted with the repository's pinned prettier so pnpm format:check covers the folded tree like every other repo file. The formatter's embedded-language pass also normalized code fences (TS semicolons, closed HTML tags in examples, lowercased CSS hex colors, one renumbered list that skipped an index). Alphanumeric token deltas vs the fold commit were audited file-by-file; all are formatter-equivalent markup normalizations plus the four sanitized skills.

Defer Await Until Needed
Move await operations into the branches where they're actually used to avoid blocking code paths that don't need them.
Incorrect (blocks both branches):
async function handleRequest(userId: string, skipProcessing: boolean) {
const userData = await fetchUserData(userId);
if (skipProcessing) {
// Returns immediately but still waited for userData
return { skipped: true };
}
// Only this branch uses userData
return processUserData(userData);
}
Correct (only blocks when needed):
async function handleRequest(userId: string, skipProcessing: boolean) {
if (skipProcessing) {
// Returns immediately without waiting
return { skipped: true };
}
// Fetch only when needed
const userData = await fetchUserData(userId);
return processUserData(userData);
}
Another example (early return optimization):
// Incorrect: always fetches permissions
async function updateResource(resourceId: string, userId: string) {
const permissions = await fetchPermissions(userId);
const resource = await getResource(resourceId);
if (!resource) {
return { error: 'Not found' };
}
if (!permissions.canEdit) {
return { error: 'Forbidden' };
}
return await updateResourceData(resource, permissions);
}
// Correct: fetches only when needed
async function updateResource(resourceId: string, userId: string) {
const resource = await getResource(resourceId);
if (!resource) {
return { error: 'Not found' };
}
const permissions = await fetchPermissions(userId);
if (!permissions.canEdit) {
return { error: 'Forbidden' };
}
return await updateResourceData(resource, permissions);
}
This optimization is especially valuable when the skipped branch is frequently taken, or when the deferred operation is expensive.
